[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is an excellent value for the price. It seems as though it is well-made and durable. It has a few nice extras like the tangle-free brushes (great for pet—and human—hair. And let me just say that I have no idea why I have never seen an automatic cord rewind feature on a vacuum before?! Seriously, who wants to sit there and wind it up afterward? It works great, the cord is still a good length, but I'm concerned about it breaking at some point only because I know those features can take a beating. The headlights are great for seeing in those dark corners or under furniture, and I really love a pivot head just because it pushes around with ease. Compared to other vacuums at this price point, I think this is a great value and will serve our home well for years to come.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CleanView Max Tangle Free Rewind is a game changer! When I got it, it was very simple and intuitive in how to put it together. I did look over the instruction manual to make sure I didn’t miss anything, but I really didn’t need it! The unit was a bit heavy when I first pulled it out, but once I attached the handle it was much easier to maneuver around the house! I loved the sleek design too! Great colors! The first thing I noticed was the retractable cord. I hate messing with cords and fighting with them while I vacuum and trying to put them away, and this takes all that struggle away. We have an old house that seems to collect dust quickly and we usually vacuum very often. Not to mention I have two small boys and we live in the country so you never know what they will bring in. On my first pass through the house with Clean View Max, it was like I hadn’t vacuumed in ages! I loved being able to see all the dirt, dust, hair and fuzz the vacuum was picking up, and there was so much of it! I felt like the carpet was finally getting a deep clean! Disposing of the dirt was super easy too! There is a button that opens the bottom of the canister, so when you empty it over the trash you don’t need to get your hands dirty not to mention you don’t need to buy any bags! I was able to use the Turbo Eraser pet tool to really scrub clean some trouble areas and furniture, and I like the detachable hose tool to get all the dust bunnies and hair under shelves and around table legs! It was really easy to switch between modes. As I moved into the hallway that is kind of dark, I was pleasantly surprised to realize the lights on the front of the vacuum lit up all the dust bunnies, hair, and debris on the floor! I didn’t realize it was so dirty, but it was very helpful in getting the WHOLE hallway clean, and not just hitting the spots I could see were dirty. It was super easy to switch between carpet and bare floors. Every vacuum I’ve ever used with a roller brush spits debris back at me on the bare floors, but I elated to find this one did not! The feature I am most excited about besides the retractable cord is the tangle free roller brush! I have long hair and it has always been a battle to clean the hair off the roller brush, and usually ends up with me feeling defeated. After using the vacuum a few times, there is still no hair attached to the brush! I can’t wait to use this vacuum more, I feel like my house will not just be clean - but the carpets especially will be deep cleaned more regularly!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying that I vacuum regularly since I have two kids and three cats. But I was blown away by how much dirt and fur the CleanView Max got out of the rug in my living room! Check out the picture if you like being grossed out! I’d give it five stars based on that alone, but I also like the other features, too! The headlight makes all the dirt and fur clearly stand out and the vacuum swivels and turns as easily as my stick vacuum. I love the automatic cord rewind-it makes it so easy to put away when I’m done cleaning. I also really like how the wand is the handle and you can switch to using the wand so quickly. It was handy when I needed to get furry dust bunnies in the corner behind furniture. I love this vacuum and would give it 10 stars!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of this vacuum was how aesthetically pleasing it is. The light blue, silver, and black combination is very chic! This vacuum was extremely easy to assemble when I removed from the box. I was impressed by the automatic cord rewind function! In my opinion, the most annoying part of vacuuming is having to wrap the cord around the vacuum after I am done. With this vacuum you press a button and the cord is automatically pulled into the vacuum. Another feature I loved was the LED lights on the bottom of the vacuum. I was amazed at how the light revealed dust on the hardwood or dog hair on the carpet that was not visible to the naked eye. The light feature is a game changer! This vacuum is a must for any dog or cat owner. We have a husky and the suction on this vacuum did an excellent job picking up all of the dog hair. One con was the swivel feature on this vacuum. I found it slightly difficult trying to turn the vacuum at times, especially on carpet. Overall I was impressed with the CleanView Max Tangle-Free Rewind vacuum!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the mom of both a golden retriever and a long-haired cat, I have a deep respect for a good vacuum! In my honest opinion, this one is just okay.
Cons: The suction power and overall functionality just don’t meet my expectations. I have other vacuums at similar price points that do a much better job picking up pet hair (which, in my house, is everywhere!)—whether it’s on hardwood floors, low-pile carpet, or thick carpet.
I really wanted to love this machine because I do enjoy other products from this company, but in this case, there are definitely better alternatives for pet owners.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for your honest feedback. We're glad you liked the design and features like the retractable cord. We're sorry the performance didn’t meet your expectations—especially with pet hair. Cleaning the filters and brush roll regularly can help improve suction. For more help, please visit support.bissell.com.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really loving the Cleanview Max Swivel vacuum! It works great grabbing pet hair and dust, the proof is in the easy to dump dust collector. It works amazingly on my area rugs. I do wish it worked a little bit better on my wood floors, I have to make a few passes to get it all. The swivel movement makes it easy to get every nook and cranny and even under the couch. I also love the easy to use wand with attachments for my couch. And I cannot forget to mention how much I adore the self retracting cord, no mess and no fighting with getting the cord to stay put. Overall, it works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bissell CleanView Max Tangle-Free Rewind has been a great addition to my cleaning routine! The suction is seriously powerful—it easily picks up dog hair from carpets, rugs, and hard floors without a problem. One of my favorite parts is that the hair doesn’t get tangled up in the brush roll, which saves me from constantly having to cut it out.
The headlight feature is surprisingly handy—it really helps spot hidden dirt and dog hair I might normally miss, especially under furniture or in darker corners. The automatic cord rewind is another big win; just press a button and it winds itself up, making cleanup quick and easy.
The vacuum also steers smoothly and doesn’t feel clunky or heavy when moving around. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that it’s a little on the louder side and could be slightly lighter—but overall, it’s a strong, convenient vacuum that makes cleaning up after pets a lot easier.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy to have gotten this vacuum -- you don't really realize how dusty your house is until you have the vacuum headlight (a blessing and a curse)! With a dog and two kids, we have lots of dust/dirt/crumbs scattered throughout the house. This did a great job cleaning up, especially on our rugs. I usually don't love corded vacuums because they get in the way, but this one has a nice feature to rewind the cord and it works great.
The best thing about the vacuum is how easy it is to clean out. With others sometimes you have to stick your hand in there to grab tangled up hair and fully empty out the bin -- this one was a quick bang over the trash bin to empty out.
For the price, I think this is a great buy. My only critique is that it required more than one pass to grab dust off the hardwood. But it REALLY cleaned my rugs up, and it's light and easy to use.
